Assassin's Creed Odyssey officially announced

IMG_8213.JPG

A French website might have leaked the next Assassin's Creed game. Jeux Video has supposedly shown a keychain for a game called Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. This keychain has a Greek-styled helmet attached, leading people to believe that Greece will be the setting of the next game's adventure. A shirt with the same Spartan helmet was also shown on ResetERA as well. This wouldn't be the first time a game in this franchise has been leaked, either. Assassin's Creed: Origins had screenshot images going around a few weeks prior to its official reveal. Regardless if this is true or false, we're incredibly likely to see a new Assassin's Creed game teased at Ubisoft's E3 Press Conference on June 11.

EDIT: it has been confirmed.

What's with everyone seeing an ancient helmet and instantly saying it's Greek or Spartan? That's idiotic beyond words, how much are you people generalizing?:/ It's nothing like Greek or Spartan helmets, it's more like a Roman one (Roman ones had the pointless huge top with the hairs) and even then, it's more of those movies use (which have absolutely no actual resemblance to how real helmets were) than actual helmet, so why are people just making assumptions?

On the main issue though, why is this even in the front page on here? Do we report on cancer games too or games that are exactly the same? What's next? Making a new thread on here for every new player released in "Live Service" "games"?

They did Rome before.

Anyways, insider sources claim it's Greek, regardless what you presume the helmet to be.

Uh...did the Assassin's Creed games hurt you in some way? A game is a game, even if you don't like it. Check literally every outlet too, they reported the same thing we did. It's a supposed leak of a huge AAA game series. That's a big deal.

Really unfortunate name choice if it is true. It's likely a reference to The Odyssey, but it still is going to look a little weird next to Mario Odyssey
Guess they had the plan to call the Greece one Odyssey just the moment they had the idea to make a Greece one which most likely was years before the release of the last 3D Mario. It's really a no-brainer to call it that way and I also don't see that much of a problem since not too many people going to play both games.

They didn't hurt me, but they have and are hurting the industry you know, reason I don't consider them as anything but bad. You just said it, "a huge AAA game series", that's what's so bad. The big deal is that big games get reported on while smaller ones are left in obscurity despite being way better and actually doing something original. Name the last time AC did ANYTHING original past AC1 and I guess I'll agree with you:P

Ubisoft might make irksome lootboxes decisions but the industry wouldn't exist at all without heavy hitter franchises that bring in the large amounts of money.

Plus, plenty of indies get reported on, along with mobile titles and reviews for niche games.

Assassin's Creed 1 didn't even do anything revolutionary. It was just evolved Prince of Persia + new IP tech demo. The series didn't really go places until 2 defined it. Once it hit 3 it was virtually out of ideas, but it created a long lasting franchise that helps Ubisoft be a major industry player and let them publish other games that are smaller in focus anyways.

The comments are Hilarious! BTW in regard to the leak coming from France, they did the same with Empty-Nest from Soylo a Shtar Wars Shory, Pando Calrissian supposed breakout film project, and Ehrenreich's the turd's trilogy.

Ubisoft...Could you stop milking this franchise to death? Seriously, bring back Prince of Persia, but without gimmicky gameplay.
Actually, bring back Prince of Persia, Rayman and the dozens of IPs they have just abandoned to focus on the same 3-4 like they are!:/

But it's a video game. I'd expect things to be more movie than realistic.
